She blinked, her hazel eyes drowsy and wide. When she focused on him, a beautiful smile broke out across her face. The expression of love and trust seemed to cut Gage right through his chest.
He smiled back. He couldn’t help it. The magnetism between them tuned their thoughts and feelings to a sympathetic frequency he couldn’t ignore.
If she’s happy, I’m happy.
It seemed like the simplest thing in the world. Keeping someone happy wasn’t always simple, though.
Before his doubts could crowd back into his mind, Rylee leaned forward and kissed him, a quick, soft kiss. Gage was frozen, paralyzed by her touch.
“Hi,” she whispered.
“Hi, yourself,” he whispered back. Rylee’s smile grew, and she leaned in to kiss him again.
She pressed her body against him, her arms slipping around his neck. All the complicated thoughts in Gage’s mind were swept away as he felt the warmth of her sliding against him. Their bodies fit together. It was as simple as that.
With a small cry of need, Rylee put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him down to the floor, climbing on top of him. Gage watched her, so struck by her beauty he could barely move.
Rylee grinned and stretched upward, showing off her breasts. Gage tried to moan, but it got caught in his throat, his heart pounding so hard, he was sure Rylee could hear it. She put her hands on his chest and leaned down to kiss him again before she reached for his cock.
His breath blasted out as she gripped him, her fingers squeezing him and caressing him up and down the shaft with ever-changing pressure. Gage trembled, letting her play him like a flute.
I’m powerless before this woman.
Rylee looked up at him with a wicked smile. She sat up straight and guided him into her, her folds parting easily for him as she slowly sank down. He couldn’t believe how wet she was, how open and inviting her body was for him.
As she sank down on him, her hands tightened on his shoulders. He watched her face, her eyes closing as their bodies came together. She wriggled back and forth, and he reached up to grab her arms. He had to hold on to something…the force of her passion was going to sweep him away.
She opened her eyes slowly, watching his face as she rocked back and forth. He saw something flicker deep inside her gaze, and he knew she felt the connection between them.
She may not know about the mate bond, but she knew that something special was going on here. He knew that it might take time for her to understand it, but something within her recognized they were meant to be together.
It’s already too late. Even if I haven’t technically claimed her, our bodies know each other now. I can’t ever go back.
Rylee sat up again, stretching her hands up as she thrust her hips down. Gage let out a sharp cry that was echoed by Rylee as his cock jabbed into the soft, warm end of her. He was constantly amazed by how easily her body accommodated him, how perfectly they came together.
Rylee started to work her hips up and down very slowly. Gage could tell she was lost in the sensations of her own body, her eyes closing as she focused on the rising lust inside. She ran her hands over her belly, up across her breasts and her neck. Gage watched, his eyes following every movement of her fingers.
Her eyes opened, looking down at him with an expression of wonder. He sat up a little as she sank down, and they kissed, their lips meeting in a hot, wet tangle. Gage fell hard against the floor as Rylee’s weight pushed him down.
Gripping his shoulders, her knees tightened on his sides, and she gave a tremendous thrust with her hips. Gage’s breath rushed from his lungs as she worked herself on top of him, her strong body sliding back and forth on the power of her arms and legs.
Gage gasped, lost in the sensations. His hands gripped her hips loosely, but he made no attempt to change her movement. Rylee’s head rocked back, and her eyes closed as her pussy clenched around him, spasms running up and down the length of his cock. He stayed still, letting her pleasure herself with his body.
She increased her pace, sharp cries bursting from her throat on every thrust. Gage’s breath came faster until he was panting, clinging to her, desperate for release but determined to let her have her way.
Suddenly her arms collapsed, going roughly around his shoulders as she pressed herself to his chest. Right beside his ear, she cried out, her entire body shivering with the oncoming tide. Gage held her hips just a bit tighter and waited, his cock high and hard, completely at her command.
Rylee’s hands tightened on his shoulders, and her legs clamped against him. She moaned a series of short, intense sounds that spiraled up into a wail. He felt the orgasm pounding through her, not just inside her but all over her, a crashing wave that jolted all her muscles and sent goose bumps flying across her skin.
He let himself go, the release shaking him to his core. The extreme situation of keeping himself completely still until she was done created an intensity like nothing he had ever known. He was gasping and sweating, holding on to her as if she might be ripped from his arms by the storm that tossed them carelessly against each other.
That was how he felt right now, with his arms wrapped around her and their hearts as one. The world had thrown them together, giving him everything he needed. But Gage knew how the world worked.
It could take just as easily as it gave.
He pushed the fear away, refusing to acknowledge the doubt. For now, he just held on to her, immersed in her scent and the feeling of her breath, her heartbeat, so close to his own. He would live in the bliss of this moment for as long as he could until reality came to tear them apart.
